has anybody else noticed that the power button is becoming more recessed and a little more sensitive?
Guessing it is just over time?!
might have to look into replacing it...
Thoughts?
Use volume rocker button to wake phone.
Problem solved

I don't notice it at all on either my i9020t or D720. Maybe you're pushing it too hard?
i use my volume keys for music very often, so thats a no go :'(
might be pushing too hard or too often...
just going to wait and see what happens

Did a quick search and didn't find too much..
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my volume buttons started to feel soft. Mostly volume down and nowadays the volume up button is sticking and makes a louder click when it comes back out. Both still work for now.
And now within the past couple days, my power button pretty much lost all of its clickyness. As in it still works, but doesn't hardly move at all and is now harder to turn the screen on and off. Anyone else noticing these common trends?
My volume down button was like that for a while. I took off the back cover and used a can of compressed air to try and force any dirt and/or dust out from under the button. It took several tries, but the buttons all work fine now. Hope it helps.

Is there any way I may fix the volume rocker down press issue? Pressing up works with ease but pressing down really takes some effort to press it just right for it to work.
Thanks

It sounds like your volume rocker is slightly out of alignment, or the electrical contact switch located under the volume down button is worn out. You'll have to contact the AT&T Warranty Service Center at 1-800-801-1101 to do a warranty replacement. The last time I dealt with them a couple of years ago, they cross-shipped me a replacement phone in a couple of days. There's a chance you'll get a refurbished phone (it should still be in excellent condition though).
Just curious, anyone else experiencing this issue? Other members have their volume button fall off (which I could've easily solved) OR their power button issue (which appears to be software related) but for me... my volume button is sticking. The VOL-UP sticks. I just hope it doesn't die anytime soon, how's everyone elses so far? The only really annoying thing is when I want to turn up the volume, it goes all the way up and it keeps displaying the "media/ringer volume" which then I have to press the vol-up again in order to get it out of the way. It'll be a pain if it completely dies though!
No volume/power button issues here.
Maybe it's sticky behind the back cover, have you checked?

Yeah, I checked. I took off the housing and pressed the vol-up itself. I find this irritating. I used to love their build quality but just giving up with them now. Started with the nexus one power button (which I prevented by using the volumes and screen off holding the search buton) issue and it continues! ugh. Now for senny, my volume is slowly dying. This is [email protected]!#$
I've had my One S since it's come out, always keep in a case and I've noticed it's been harder and harder to push the power button down to wake it up.
I see Expansys has a replacement sim cover here http://www.expansys-usa.com/htc-one..._productfeed&gclid=COvFrtXItbACFUMCQAodJx8-7g
This should include the power button mechanism but I'm not sure if I'm ready to spend $20.
And I certainly don't want to go through the hassle of a replacement from TMO.
Anyone else having issues? Are there possible solutions?
I dont know if there are any solutions, but I notice a difference too from when i first got it to now.
I had the same problem occur to me on the HTC Sensation.
Might just be wear and tear from how much you keep on pressing the button. A solution to slow down this 'wear and tear' would be to unlock the phone by means of the softkeys or volumekeys.
Just to add gas to the starting flame: the Nexus 1 had massive widespread power button failures...
how do you unlock from the volumerocker or soft keys?

The Sensation had a feature in some custom ROMs called Swipe-to-unlock, basically you swipe your finger across the softkeys and the screen turns on. Swipe the other way to turn it off.
But I'm not sure if this is also on One S ROMs
i had to exchange 4 of them for various reasons and only my last unit has a perfect power button that still works as new. but it would be great to have swipe-to-unlock just because how tall this phone is.

Yep, Swipe-to-Unlock is a great option! Hope to get it for our One S soon, and as sources are released, we'll probably get this option with some custom Kernels or additions...
Don't know if a "soft" solution is really good, but it will eat some battery for sure as the system is "waiting to be touched" and not really sleeping as it should be. Some has huge drain, some not... But I didn't test all these options, and not sure that they work with our phone.
Another popular solution for the sensation was using the Volume + button hack to wake the device.
I never had that issue with my sensation and after one month with the ONE S my power button still works fine.
(On his sensation) A friend of mine placed a small piece of paper under the power button to raise it and it seemed to work for him, maybe you can try something similar?

Hey all! Just something bothering me for a bit but I just wanted someone or preferably a few people to check and confirm something that may be a problem with my Note. Is the power button raised lower than the volume buttons? I say this because the volume buttons extrude out further and are more rigid than the power button on my note. To be honest this does make pressing the power button easier, but once again, just checking. This doesn't affect the Note in anyway, just something on my mind. Thanks for any replies!

That's how mine is too.. power button is half the height I'd say.
They are all like that. Obviously part of the design to make it easier to find the volume button, and harder to hit the power button by mistake.
